MASONIC UHA HARi4Y.-Maao1ic charity,
true Masonic charity, does not only
mean that charity which is extended to
Mason, or his family, by Mason, or
Masonic body, bat the charity that is
given to all who are suffering and in
want. Not only given because the giver
believes it his duty to give, but also of
the pleasure he experiences in doing
good. The men who give the large
amounts often do so for the notoriety
that it gives them than for the good of
the persons who receive it. But the
truly charitable Gives only for the good
which il will do, and for no hope of re-
| ward, except that which viii be his in
the world to come. Such Is Masonic
charity

THE FRATERNITIES.
Things That Never Die.

The pure, the bright and beautiful,
That stirred our hearts in youth;
The impulse of a wordless prayer,
The dream of love and truth,
The longing after something lost,
The spirits yearning cry,
The striving after better hopes
These things shall never die.
The timid hand stretched forth to aid,
A brother in his need;
The kindly word in grief's dark hour,
That proved a friend indeed;
The plea for mercy, softly breathed,
When Justice threatens nigh;
The sorrowing OF a contrite heart
These things shall never die.
Let nothing pass, for every hand
Must find some work TO do
Loose not a chance to awaken love;
Be firm, and just, and true;
So shall light that cannot fade
Beam on thee from on high,
And angel voices say to thee
"These things can never die.

Masonic Deadbeats.

A great deal has been written about
the professional tramp, great lazy,
dirty lummox who has fallen out with
work, and ekes out his miserable exis
tence by strolling from place to place,
begging or stealing according to his
depth of degradation. This specimen
OF vagrant human nature Is very largely
confined to the country, or hangs around
small towns and the rural hotels.
But there is another fungus growth
mainly confined to cities, that the
country knows very little about, that lis
growing larger and larger with each
passing month. The deadheat is a
product of city life, and is harder to
handle and cure than the tramp. He is
q sort of stylish parasite who lives by
sponging and borrowing. There are
hundreds of men in this city quite well
dressed, who ''shin" from day to. day, and
never know in the morning how they
will get through They live by their
wits, and become expert In devising
| plausible expedients.
We call attention to this anomalous
variation of the human species, for they
are just now becoming very troublesome
| 20 our Order. They roost around our
Boards of Relief and hang about the
doors of our temples, seeking to borrow
money on the basis of some story in
vented for the occasion. They want To
buy some medicine for sick wife OIL
child, or borrow small sum to feed 8
starving family, or pay their way tc
some place where, they claim to have
friends or expect to find employment
Tney hang arouna depots and wharyes
Ein order TO strike some Brother TO give
them lift across the bay or to some
place in the interior.
The ingenious lies they peddle about
the city in order to evoke from good
natured bro. hers sums varying from s.
to SO would be enough to establish /
lola novelist In first-rate business
They are often told 20 earnestly ant
with such REALISTIC plausibleness that i
lis hard to realize chat it Is not true, ant
yet we feel safe that in ninety y-nine case
| id a hundred they are pure fabriiations
The moment s man begins to lie Tor tn

| for the purpose of excusing himself TO
non.payment OF debt, that m0ment b

A w ord of Caution.

am requested by the lady managers
of the Protestant Orphan Asylum at
Natchez, to say to Lodges and individ-
uals recommending the admission of
orphans to the Asyium, to remember
that the Asylum is not a Reform School
or House of Correction, but Home
where the worthy children of honorable
parentage ere admitted and cared for.
The lady managers have been several
times imposed upon, or grievously dis
appointed, in the character of children
admitted, end they appeal to all who
feel an interest in the success of the
Asylum to protect it against the vile
and vicious The discipline of the
Asylum is that of love and confidence
"a treatment altogether too mild for
some recent cases of insubordination
and disobedience. The conduct Gf one

request Of a leading citizen of --

was 50 outrageous, the managers felt re-
Iieved when he ran away; girl who
had been in the Asylum for several years

Gently ran away, and another has been
expelled. In its history of seventy years,
such cases have been rare, and will
seldom occur if proper care is exercised
in the recommendation of children for
admission. J. l.. POWER,

AN AGE OF FANATIGISM.
A Southern Woman's Vindication of
the Sage of Beauvoir.

II seems that this age must go down
10 posterity as the Age of Fanaticism-
1t is rife in the land, uprooting con
science, truth and common sense For
eign lands are suffering from its scorch-
ing rays, and our own country Is literal
ly whitening in its hot blasts. Hatred
and malice are engendered and the
world refuses to provide things honest
in the sight of all men" Misrepresenta-
ton, moderation and villifcation are the
reigning soyereigns of the day, and
right royalty do they WELD their scep-
tiers. The centripetal has out-balaneed
the centrifugal forces, and the world has
gone off at a tangent. The turmoil
seems general. Various important
movements are agitsting almost every
people, but it does seem as if America
has more than her share of those agita-
tions which are certainly questions for
craftsmanship.
The cry everywhere is for freedom
freedom of the press, freedom of speech,
freedom individually and collectively;
yet, in the dawniDg reforms nobody is
willing 10 allow his neighbor the free
dom he 40 voeiferously demands for
himself. Each shows to the other the

An Heroic Woman.

Sister Marie Theresa, french nun,
who has lately been decorated with
the cross of the Legion of Honor for
forty years service in the army am
balances, seems to be not only brave
but q merry woman. During time
of hard fighting in Tonquin, bomb
fell into an ambulance full of wounded
men. Sister Theresa seized the bomb
and carried it to a distance. When
she set it down it exploded, but, lucki-
ly, not till she had had time to throw
herself fiat on the ground. Her as
sistants rushed up in terror, and found
her unconscious and covered with
blood. When she regained her senses,
she uttered her customary phrase:
Its only joke" an expression
which has since become her nick
name. At another time she was tend
ing a wounded man, when she was
struck by passing splinter from a
charge of metraille; but her quiet OBJ
servation was merely, as usual, :" It's
only joke" At the ceremony OF
the decoration, none of the customary
formahties were omitted. The Gen.
eral who conferred the title chevaliere
on the brave nun touched her with his
sword on both her shoulders, and
finally brushed her cheek with his
white mustaches.

agreeable stranger on the way, to whom
she confided her nefarious intention. AT
London bridge he reciprocated her frank

volume should be given up. "But have
not finished it yet" she murmured, plead.
ingly. "Where have you got tori he in

Gently taking the book from the fair con

A RailroadInR Cat.

An engineer on the Wabash railway,
whose run is between Danville and Spring
field, has Q cat which he would not part
with for love or money. 1t belonged to
his wife, who is now dead, and for year
past it has been his constant companion
in tie cab The cat loves its life on the
rail, and has grown sleek and fat snifln g
the prairie winds. Ordinarily it sits
perched up in the cab window before its
master. but occasionally it strolls out to
the pilot, where 1t will ride for hours at q
stretch, winking knowingly at the dogs
which dart at the train as it thunders by
the crossroads Sometimes when the
tram is approaching station the ad
venturous animal climbs to the top Of the
sand-box and calmly roosts there, unde
tered by the shrek Of the whistle or the
clang Of the bell. The engine has hac
good luck ever since the animal became
an occupant of the cab, and the trainmer
look upon it as mascot against disaster

Women at the Polls.

Anent the recent elections in Kan
sas, the Topeka Capitol says: 1t had
been predicted that the vote of the de-
graded and ignorant class of women
would over-balance the vote of the
respectable ladies; but the election in
Topeka proved this not to be true. A
large majority of the votes cast were
by the most refined and cultured ladies
of the city, and all appeared to vote
intelligently and without hesitation.
Wives went to the polls with their hus-
bands, mothers with their sons, and in
many instances young gentlemen were
accompanied to the polls by their
sweethearts. Every thing was peacea-
bic and quiet, and the absence of the
disorder that is so frequent at elections
was the subject of much comment
The ladies went to the polls with as
much freedom as if thew were Soing
